Since the first cultivated meat prototype in 2013, significant advancements have been made, yet cultivated meat still differs from conventional meat, particularly in nutritional and flavor profiles. In this study, cell-cultivated pork was developed using 3D-cultured pig muscle stem cells (MuSCs) on hydrogel scaffolds over a 44-day period and analyzed for muscle maturity and nutritional characteristics. qPCR analysis showed muscle fiber maturation with a shift from type I to type II fibers during long-term culture. Genes related to muscle structure, including and isoforms, were increasingly expressed between days 9 and 16. Although cultivated pork differed significantly in total and free amino acids and nucleotide-related compounds compared to conventional pork, its total amino acid composition per protein content was comparable, if not superior. This study provides key insights into the structure, composition, and development of cultivated pork, guiding future improvements to more closely mimic traditional pork.
自2013年首个培养肉原型问世以来,已取得了重大进展,但培养肉仍与传统肉类有所不同,尤其是在营养和风味方面。在本研究中,使用水凝胶支架上的3D培养猪肌肉干细胞(MuSCs)在44天内培养出细胞培养猪肉,并对其肌肉成熟度和营养特性进行了分析。qPCR分析表明,在长期培养过程中,肌肉纤维发生成熟,从I型纤维转变为II型纤维。与肌肉结构相关的基因,包括 和 同工型,在第9天至第16天之间表达逐渐增加。尽管与传统猪肉相比,培养猪肉在总氨基酸、游离氨基酸和核苷酸相关化合物方面存在显著差异,但其每蛋白质含量的总氨基酸组成即使不更优也相当。本研究为培养猪肉的结构、组成和发育提供了关键见解,为未来更接近传统猪肉的改进提供了指导。
